Tattooing
does not any more mean crime nor punishment, it is nowadays also a body art.
The new
book Naisen iholla, 32 tarinaa tatuoinneista (On Woman´s Skin, 32 stories about
tattoos) shows the styles, ideas and illustrations now popular among Finnish
women.
Every
tattoo has a story.
Quite
many of them are stories about personal, sometimes even life-changing moments
the woman wanted to remember. They are diaries, love confessions, thank you
Mom/Dad pictures, they are colourful, touching, beautiful and even funny.
And no,
not all of the ladies were wild teenagers having tattoos – some of them were
over 60 years of age when they had their first tattoo.
If you
want to know the mind of your friends and guests buy this coffee table book.
Perhaps you will be surprised. Or tempted to have some tattoos as well.
